[Verse 1] I can't get there on my own,

Nice tab man, great job! I think that in the final part of the song, between the Badd11 and the E/Badd11 there is a sort of G#/Badd11, but honestly I don't how to play it with the standard tuning without breaking my fingers. Maybe it's played only by the piano or the bass guitar.

Yeh I originally put a little walk down like in the other version with theC > C/B > Am part but I left it out in the end. You could go: Badd11 > Badd11/Bb (699800)> G#m. If you just play the bass notes when walking down it sounds ok, it's not too difficult just kinda angle your index finger back one fret from the Badd11 chord.

The piano plays something else but I can't quite figure it out, it sounds like a 7th chord but the best I could get was: Badd11 > F#7 (x8786x) > Bb > G#m.
